SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS

The children have been busy learning about how to plant seeds and they are looking forward to seeing them grow. Room 1 children have discovered some very creative and interesting ways to watch their seedlings grow. They have used recycled tea bags to germinate their seeds. Also the bean seeds are planted in plastic cups so they can see the roots growing. The children are fascinated watching the progress.

Teina, Steven, Tia Pounamu, Amy, Maketu & Kyryn show off their bean planting experiments.

Andrew & Sammi enjoyed planting their seeds.

How many cups of tea has Ms Richardson had lately?
"Lots!" they all shouted.

Room 1's impressive seed planting display.

Room 2 have planted lettuce and silverbeet seeds.

We have used recycled pots that can be planted straight into the ground.

Sunflower children (and a puppy!)

In between the rain downpours we have been positioning the recycled tyres and filling them with our homemade compost. The koru design looks fantastic.
